About this role
About Somnia:
SOMNIA is the Agentic Chain - a hyper-performance L1 operating at an order of magnitude faster than existing networks. We empower builders and traders to create real-time, autonomous, and fully decentralized products, powered by agents, that were previously impossible and cannot be built anywhere else. It’s where the future of Web3 protocols will be built, so we’re facilitating a new wave of on-chain applications from DEX to Prediction Protocols and much, much more.
Somnia is being developed by Somnia Foundation backed by Improbable, a British tech Unicorn +++ that has been at the forefront of building virtual worlds for over a decade. Somnia received initial funding from MSquared, which raised $150 million from a16z crypto, SoftBank, Mirana Ventures, CMT Digital, and SIG.
About the Role:
Somnia is looking for a Legal Counsel to work directly alongside our Legal Director across the full breadth of the network's legal work. This is a broad, hands-on role. You will own day-to-day legal matters, negotiate commercial agreements and NDAs, and act as a first point of contact for legal questions from across the business.
You will report directly to the Legal Director and work closely with them. We expect you to drive matters forward on your own, but you will never be doing it alone because you will have direct, continuous support from a senior lawyer, which makes this an unusually fast way to grow. Somnia operates at the intersection of blockchain, DeFi, and AI across a multi-entity, international structure, so the work is varied and no two weeks look the same.
Key Responsibilities:
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, vendor and SaaS contracts, NDAs, and related documentation.
Handle day-to-day legal questions from teams across the business and give practical, commercially grounded answers.
Support product and corporate legal work across Somnia's entities and jurisdictions.
Track developments in crypto and digital-asset regulation (for example MiCA, Clarity Act, and comparable frameworks) and turn them into actionable guidance.
Maintain and improve internal templates, playbooks, and contract-tracking processes.
Coordinate with external counsel where specialist input is needed.
Requirements:
A law degree and the possibility to work core hours in the CET timezone (Europe preferred).
One to three years of relevant legal experience, ideally gained at a law firm or in-house.
A genuine interest in both crypto and AI. Hands-on crypto or Web3 experience is a strong plus but not required.
The ability to run matters independently while knowing when to escalate.
Strong drafting and negotiation skills, and clear written English.
Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-volume environment.
Why Join Somnia?
Design The Future: Join Somnia to work remotely with a global team, earn competitive compensation with token incentives, and help build the future of Web3 at a company where your impact truly matters.
First of its Kind: Make Somnia famous as the only hyperspeed L1 with native AI inference.
High Stakes: Influence a brand targeting a $1M+ launch budget in the 2026 peak-fragility market.
Incentives: Competitive salary + tokens.
Role Location
The role is remote, but we are looking for someone based in Europe or Asia (preferably).
